Resuming the cluster membership of a queue manager

If you previously suspended a queue manager's membership of a cluster, but then want to resume the queue manager's membership, we can do this without having to re-enter the queue manager's connection details.

If we have suspended the cluster membership of a queue manager, the queue manager is unable to exchange messages using the cluster, and the queue manager's cluster queues are unavailable to the other queue managers in the cluster. We can easily resume the queue manager's cluster membership without having to enter the queue manager's connection details again.

For more information, see Distributed queuing and clusters in the IBM MQ online product documentation.

To resume the cluster membership of a queue manager:

Procedure

In the Navigator view (in the Queue Manager Clusters folder), right-click the queue manager, then click Resume cluster membership...

Results

The queue manager is an active member of the cluster again and any decoration is removed from the queue manager's icon to show this.
